Magical little place that is thoroughly enjoyable for a quick day off visit, picnic or casual walk. Plenty of parking on the day I stopped by but I’m sure it will be packed during busy season. I would definitely visit again during a weekday and just sit and enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful little place to have a little walk around. I went in September and the waterfall was completely dry and blocked so no one was allowed past the barrier. The only bad thing here is that there’s some of the most annoying bugs I’ve ever seen that try to go inside any exposed opening in your body. I literally had these little annoying bugs trying to go inside my nostrils, ear canals, mouth, etc the whole walk.

The easiest of hikes to a very pretty waterfall. there are plenty of tables and benches along the way, perfect for having lunch in the shade or even going out on a lunch date with your significant other. Dogs are allowed but keep them on a leash. You cross two different Bridges, giving excellent locations for photos.And if you bring the kids not only will they love the waterfall, they will light up when they see two still alive hollowed-out trees that they can climb in and peek out from.

It was fun but there was no water so I wasnt expecting the water fall to be dry. Everything else was perfect but some squirrel ran into some rocks on top of the water fall and the rocks were falling and we all got scared.

Beautiful as always but the closed sign near the top was saddening. Wide open space for trail but not ideal for a wagon.

Nice peaceful area. Walk to falls is tranquil. Didnt make it all the way up as was walking with my 82 y.o. mom. Was told the area to falls was blocked.

The waterfalls are a really good place to go with your family! Dogs are allowed but they have to be on leash.

Beautiful spot to have a picnic, and a little 10 minute hike to see a lovely water fall. Very clean and well kept. Please lets keep it that way, dont litter.

Great waterfall. Its not the largest or most powerful, but is easily accessible so the entire family can go to it. Once youre in the main park, take the road that heads south, and you will eventually end up at the trail head. From there its straight forward as long as you stay on the trail. Its about a 10 minute walk to the falls.

The waterfall is dry now. I have to go back in winter. Other than that, the park is very nice.There are plenty of parking and picnic tables.

Love, love, love this place. Easy hike up to the falls... There was a closed gate very near the falls, at the end of the hiking trail, and a posted warning that I assume had to do with the fact that it had trained so much recently that its kind of slippery and theres always a possibility of falling rocks... That said, the falls are gorgeous and almost dont look real! Beautiful scenery as you hike and nice people youll find across who are also looking forward to seeing this lovely wonder!

Easy hike for a Sunday afternoon...10 min to and back from the parking area. Good walk for dogs as well. Lots of families step into the water.

Today was my second time going to Nojoqui Falls.Its a very simple and quick hike (20 minutes in and out) even with kids.This time we went on a weekend with really nice weather and it was extremely crowded (3pm). We had to drive around the parking area several times before getting a parking space.Lots of people walk their dogs, but most are responsible and have them on a leash.Theres bathrooms located at the parking lot and playground (always out of toilet paper).Ill still go here because the view is truly beautiful and its easy to get to off the 101.I will mention that it is less busy certain times of the year which can be more enjoyable.My wife and her sister went here before (about 2 years ago) and did encounter a mountain lion on the trail but went without incident.

Nice 12-15 minutes hike to the Waterfall. The entrance has a Big park with Kids play area and plenty Benches so you can enjoy Food with Family. The have restrooms around & were clean. The nature was really peaceful and overall enjoyed this Picnic spot. Will definitely visit again.

We walked all the way (about 10 minutes) It was awesome, except the mosquitoes and at the end to find out that the waterfall was close to the public(about 100 meters)

I have never been here before, although I would like to go there alone, and back, solely.I suspect that there are distinct times when the falls themselves, respectively, are nothing but a thinned melt-like trickle, as some might mention, maybe for what seems to be too long of a time duration.Why do I suspect this?The many years do not apply here, but the many generations of populations, that applies here as to why nothing can overrun like a very large Aquarius cupola: Native land and circumstances are two discernate matters, each their own. Knowing this as I am for certain, this clearly is indicative that ensconcement of nonnatives is too much.Chumash are the fitting, and the living for this place, and even though many years ago, in the year 1974, I was told as all other students at Houchin Elementary School in what was then Moore, Oklahoma, U.S.A. [and is now, in full, recognized as Moore, Exlahoma, U.S.A.] that there are no more Chumash Indians. A teacher there told us that, however, she, as any teacher may have had none other than limited knowledge on this particular.I have seen firm, and true evidence that there are very much so Chumash indian natives still athrive, although maybe, more so sporadic, or isolated, respectively.I do not know of any true, full Chumash natives, however, I firmly believe that they are true, healthy superiors.I have wondered if there any Chumash full natives that are indeed twin brothers, each their own, from the very beginning, grown separately, and are in adulthood.They are likely true superiors, and have done very well, by means of especially their fathers wisdom, that from a very young age, immediately before and after birth.This review is now concluded, although I am still curious to know whether or not true, genuine, and authentic Blue Maltese Tigers are permitted at Nojoqui Falls.

This is a great waterfall to see! Its only a 10 minute walk to walk to get to the falls. And its an easy walk. There is parking, but I can imagine that it gets pretty busy on weekends in the middle of the day. Try to get there early or late afternoon. Especially if you want a picture without a bunch of people in it! Try to get there soon, as I believe the water will be drying soon. Unless we get a bunch of rain. Its free to go.

BE AWARE: As of 8/2/18 the waterfall and creek are completely dry. Im sure when there is water it is much more spectacular. I still give it 5 stars because the grounds and hike are still a nice experience, though short. There is plenty of parking, and several restrooms. There are even BBQs for grilling. If you are driving by its worth a quick 30 minute stop.

Great hike - not too long but long enough to do something outside. The falls were a bit low flowing but it allowed us to get up close and really experience it. I liked it a lot. Id recommend it to others but just as an addition to other sites :)

Id been here many times as a kid, but had never really thought to take my own kids. We went as a family just to spend time outdoors, Im glad we did! Plenty of picnic tables with grills, play areas for kids and a nice little walk to the waterfall, which is nothing compared to its glory days but still worth the walk

Great spot for a short hiking. The waterfall is small but totally worth going. Only thing Id complain about this place is theres tons of flying bugs! Cant get away from them. Theres a few spots to park before entering the hiking trail to the waterfall. It takes about 10mins to see the waterfall. Interesting experience and much recommended!

As of 19 March 2019 the waterfall is flowing beautifully. A very quick trek on an easy trail. Still recovering a bit from various mud slides and debris, so some portions of the trail are closed off.

There was a sign telling people not to pass because of rock slide danger. Didnt seem like anyone was paying any attention to it. Falls were pretty, kids were kind of let down as they imagined it being bigger. Beautiful walk though.

Beautiful small water fall only 10 minutes from the parking lot. The dirt path is very small and it is hard to walk through, there are also fallen rocks and many signs that say not to continue. There is also a park where you have bathroom facilities and picnic areas in the beginning before you pull into the back to walk to the falls.

The Park is close to Solvang. Its a bit of hidden wonder of nature. You get to the Beautiful Waterfall through hundreds of years old trees. You can wonder how amazing mother nature is. I love it. Hope you too.

I always forget how far it is to get there, but it is such a beautiful drive. There are so many downed trees & so much water. Great restrooms and I even ran into the son of one of my friends. Then when we leave, it seems like no time at all and we are back- crazy how that works. We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful place to visit within our county.

Late summer water still flows, but just a bit more than a garden hose. On the plus side, no mosquitoes.
